I forgot to baste it. Is that a big deal??
Why u gonna squeeze the lemon on the chicken? Sounds weird.
I made this for my family and they loved it! I’m not a great cook but this was easy.
That’s awesome! I love how easy recipes can bring the family together. I’ll have to try it too!
Perfect dinner for Sunday! Will make again. Thanks!!!
Sounds good, but isn’t it hard to make a whole chicken? I usually stick to just thighs. 🤔
I totally agree! This chicken recipe is a game changer. So juicy and flavorful!
This was the best chicken I’ve ever cooked! So juicy and flavorful!
Wow, that sounds amazing! I need to try this recipe ASAP! Thanks for sharing your success!
Easy and quick! I don’t get why people say it’s hard to roast chicken!
I followed the recipe but it came out kinda dry. Not sure what went wrong.
Dry? It was moist for me! Did you use a bigger chicken or something? 🤔
Maybe your oven temp was off? I always check with an oven thermometer to be sure.
yummy 😊
Looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it out this weekend! 🍗
Yummy? I dunno, seems kinda basic. Where’s the spice? 🤔
Lemon and chicken? Sounds strange… but I tried it and wow! It works!
Lemon in chicken? That sounds funny. Is it acidic or something? I’d stick to BBQ!
I thought lemon with chicken would be weird too, but it’s so good! The flavors really blend well together.
chicken was ok but too much salt for my taste. I think 1 tsp would be enough.
